Conor McGregor’s name was also brought up as he edges closer to an octagon return. The Irishman suffered a gruesome leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021 but is entering the final stages of rehab.

“I think the guy’s like borderline vegetable. His interviews’ spunkness, his wittyness and sharpness has got to s**t. You have to wait for him, the pause has gotten longer. You used to asked him a question, it’d be like a 2 second delay, it’s like a 30 second pause now. Good for him man, he shouldn’t be in the big leagues, he’s going to get hurt. Take that old a** dude somewhere else.”
